From 2003 to 2007, I was a PhD student in Prof. Kazovsky's group, the Photonics and Networking Research Laboratory, funded by Motorola,  STMicroelectronics and the Stanford Network Research Center:

• Analyze, design, simulate and implement new architectures, protocols and scheduling algorithms for next generation access networks (see publications).

During summer of 2003, I worked at Nortel Networks, funded through a DARPA grant:

• Designed, developed and implemented the necessary software infrastructure to provide optical network light paths to the Grid Computing community through the OGSI standards.
• Designed and deployed a network test bed for this infrastructure.
• Participated in the deployment of this infrastructure on iCAIR's Omninet in Chicago.

I worked from 2001 - 2003 at the Stanford University Medical Media & Information Technologies (SUMMIT) lab, funded by the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative:

• Studied the impact that different IP network conditions have on the performance of medical simulators, haptic and visualization applications.
• Developed metrics for the impact that packet loss, delay and jitter have on end-users of high performance applications and evaluated their impact on medical simulators, haptic and visualization applications.
• Studied how these applications can adapt to changing network conditions.
• Set up a gigabit testbed and emulator environment for these studies.
• Served as technical lead for several Internet2, NGI and NLM demonstrations at several locations.

A while back, I was a Research Assistant at the Stanford Learning Lab. During my involvement over there, I:

• Implemented an automatic service discovery and file conversion systems for an interactive room at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden.
• Developed a method to predict the performance of video conferencing systems using network characterization and emulation.
